hey one thing thats been bugging me is that trying to work out if with the sport mode on the panda makes it faster 0-60 or if its just making the throttal response quicker?
your thoughts please.![Thumbs up (y) (y)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
your thoughts please.
The sport mode can be turned off?![]()
I find that when my finger gets within 3" of the SPORT button, I get a shooting pain and I have to abandon the attempted press....

All the Sport button does (other than reduce the assistance to the PAS) is advance the throttle map, so full throttle occurs earlier in the pedal's travel. It could possibly make a very small difference to the 0-60 etc as due the advanced map the throttle may be wide open fractionally longer, but in reality I doubt it'll make any difference.

Likewise. Sport's not ideal sometimes but I'll deal with that compared to how rubbish the car feels without it. I think the brake pedal modulation is far worse compared to the throttle though, but I'm putting that down to the master cylinder not being moved across from LHD to RHD production - a common occurrence on cheap cars.I've found on occasion the car can get a bit jumpy with Sport on, especially driving slowly on uneven surfaces where the added throttle pedal sensitivity amplifies the movement of your foot on the pedal caused by the car bouncing around. I did try switching Sport off to see if it cured it, but the throttle and steering feel were horrible so it went back on pretty promptly!
Sport still stays on all the time though and like the M-series Beemer's sport button, I'm wondering why it even exists and why they just didn't make it always sporty out of the factory.

50/50 use for me.
I never blast the 4 miles to work and back anyway. so seems pointless having it on all the time.
I seem to turn it on for roundabouts though!![]()
it's mostly slow or full pelt!
